Re: Insider, Updates

On that subject, how does the general human population view themselves as? do they identify themselves as humans or as people of their own planets (i.e. Earthlings, Martians, Aldians, Esperanzians)?

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I've observed that the more conservative and buttoned-down the society, the more ridiculous and outrageous their sense of humor. I suspect that a lot of what the Loroi would find funny is slapstick, wacky non-sequitur Monty Python type stuff. I wonder if Tempo would find "Romanes eunt domus" funny ...

Re: Alien races in outsider!

I see that both sides are multi-species polities, I find this a lot more interesting than the the single species empires of say the star trek series. is it unique to the Umiak and Loroi or would you guess that this sort of arrangement is normal in the galaxy?

watching the movie "Gettysburg" made me wonder, did pre space Loroi armies have musicians?

Re: sci-fi creative writting tips?

from what I gather it seems to be a cycle. The Jedi are on top of the Galaxy till the Sith rise up and almost wipe the Jedi out, than the Jedi bounce back defeat the Sith and are on top again

Re: sci-fi creative writting tips?

I was thinking maybe going with a homeworld style Ion cannon as a main weapon instead, I figure an Ion Cannon does not need as much room as a mas driver (need space for crews to sleep).

In the book series "Star Carrier" by Ian Douglas, the second book had a station armed with small guns that fired canisters of metal sand at fighters and missiles.

Re: sci-fi creative writting tips?

well there won't be any lightsabers but I'm leaning towards soft, I know Crest/Banner of the Stars seemed to make use of these weapons (by the way was I the only one who found the Ahb kind of annoying?) but that was an Anime series so I guess that is a bad example.

sci-fi creative writting tips?

How would I explain why a warship has energy based Point defence and secondary weapons, but use a Mass Driver as a main weapon. having trouble justifing that in my head.

Re: Page 101: And I will take VERY good care of you!

You know I've been meaning to ask, do the Loroi know about the concept of personal space? they sure like to get in his face.

Re: Page 98

forgive my ignorance if this has already been adressed but is Alex getting any nutrients from the Lori Food he is eating? Do Lori need the same vitamins, minerals and nutriants that Humans need? come to think of it what does Fireblades telekinesis run on?

Re: The vessel that destroyed Bellarmine

my guess would be the Pol, my guess that they are the secret masters of the Historians rather than a client race. of course this is speculation on my part.

Re: psychological warefare on the Umiak.

so If you can't reach the Umiak, than direct it towards their base of support. that could work.
